the fluffies
Young Bun
Location : Malaysia
Alfie
Both parents are mixed lionheads, agouti color, 2.1kg
2.5years old
Male, un-neutered
Mocha
Mom is a mixed dutch, dad is a mixed lionhead, agouti color, 2.4kg
3 years old
Male, neutered
Today is their monthly grooming session. I was trimming Alfie's fur and found that some of his hair get into his eyes and his right eye is a bit watery. I was a bit worried to see the matted fur near the watery eyes, so i checked on his teeth. And i found one of his front lower left tooth was gone!
Then i checked all my 12 bunnies and found out Mocha's front lower right tooth was gone too.
Alfie loves to chew his cage bars, but not Mocha. Both of them are eating well and love their long strand hays. Other than losing their teeth, they don't show any sign of health problem. No abscess, eating and drinking normally like the rest.
Since they're from the same buck (Daddy Dino), so i checked on their dad too. This is the Dino's teeth photo. It looks normal to me, except his lower left is slightly misaligned.
Another photo of Dino's teeth
Any of your bunnies experienced teeth loss? Is this a sign or dental/malocclusion? Can the tooth grow back again? Other than sending them for xray, is there any other way to diagnose/confirm this problem?
Thanks.
